Despite extensive regulation, the chemical by- products of industrial firms continue to
pollute the environment, whether by intentional release into the air and water or by accidental
escape from toxic dump sites. Too costly to prevent entirely, such pollution can be controlled
naturally. Scientists have found that bacteria, fungi, and similar primitive microbes with a taste
for chemicals are readily found in contaminated areas. These tiniest of creatures are capable of
adapting to a poisonous environment by developing the metabolism to convert toxics into food or
by producing enzymes which can break down the chemicals. The tricky part is to find a way to
make the microorganisms populous and hungry at the same time.
Bioremediation is appealing to industrial companies because it is both simple and cost
effective. It is cheaper than incinerating the chemicals, the only other way to eliminate them
completely, and does not produce the toxic ash that burning does. Although it works best on
organic compounds such as gasoline or pesticides, bioremediation will probably work on highly
resistant as scientists engineer more powerful bugs.
